c1A1H or "TuLE DAD"
A Remarkable Character Well Known 70
Old Californians.

Old Californians.
Old 'sTule Dad,n q remarkable old noun
tain man. who early made name among the
hunters and Indian fighters of the Sierras,
crossed over to the golden shore about ten
days ago ut Jess valley, Modoc county. Cal.
I.e had reached the great age OF lO3 years.
and died ut last with mind unimpaired and
vigorous rs when he had but just passed his
half century mark Tide Dad was born
somewhere in Missouri at the time st Louis
was the headquarters of several big fur trad
ing companies. 1t was by enlisting as q
hunter with one of these that be found his
way through the Rockies and eventually
across the Sietras to CALIFORNIA;. 49,
.Tulc Dadn Is remembered by asnumber Of
old Californians who ars now In the Com
stock. They looked upon. him ~ being
wonderful old man in the days Of 40, when
gold was first discovered. He was . man
who preferred hunting anil Indian fighting -
gold digging.
A story IS told Of him which win bear re-
peating. III the early days some men who
were camped on the banks Of the Sacramento
river. above Marysville, On die Fourth Of
July, concluded to celebpate TIE day. They
began firing guns and pistols, and for an hour
or two kept up lively fusillade. Presently
their attention was attracted to half q dozen
black objects bobbing up and down On the
waters of the river. As these objects drew
nearer they were seen to be men swimming
across the stream, with their clothing and
guns on their heads As soon as the SWIM
mers got within hearing distance Of the party
on the shore, the leader of them sang out:
aWhar's the WARP
That was old Tule Dad. He was then 66
years Of age, and was able to outswim even
the yonngest Of his companions, especially
when he thought there was q chance for .
bout with the reds Such fights he looked
upon as regular, legitimate 4war."
He and party Of Missouri friends had, it
seems, been duck bunting on the opposite
shore among the tules, and. hearing the firing,
imagined that an Indian fight was going on.
They therefore swan the river In order to
take hand in the fun.
The mans right name was Samuel x. Mat
ney. He never married, and the reason he
gave for it was that he could not split an
armful Of oven wood i'll half minute" He
said that. the women always sang out that
they wanted an armful Of wood in just half
. minute" Halt minute, he said, was too
short . time for him. The old man was con-
scious to the last. and was aware that his end
was approaching. A few hours before his
death he talked with those about him; he
told that his race was nearly ended, but said
that he was ready to 90. and remarked: u
haven't been very bad man. never did
anything worse than kill Indians, and / don't
believe that will be held against me- had
TO do it" The fact is that the old follow had
really no conjunction in regard to shooting
Indians. He got over that when trapper,
and finally thought that in wiping the heather
of the face Of the earth be was doing God q
service.-Red Bluff Call Cause

This forenoon about ten minutes before

The Eskimo and the Seal,

In the spring, snow disappearing from the
ice, the seals are exposed to view. Then
the hunter takes another way OF getting at
them. First of all he notices the direction
OF the wind, and then, keeping his enemyi in
it, walks to within 400 or 500 yards OF
him. From there he begins to crouch down
and to advance only when the seal is not
looking The wary animal is in the naplt
OF throwing up his head quickly every few
seconds and looking about. and so. when
within about 200 yards. the native lies
down fiat upon the ice. 1t is only now
that real sport commences. Seal takes
Eskimo, who is able to talk seal perfectly,
to be one of his brothers, and indeed, there
is great deal OF Resemblance be ween the
species, for the genus homo is dressed in
sealsk!n, and, living largely upon it's fiesh
is similarly odorous. The two lie on the
ice for perhaps hall an hour, keeping up a
sort OF broken converse ton, part OF which
is conducted in the usual way, and part
BY means of peculiar gestures, until the
Eskimo has crept to within about thirty
yards OF his outwitted companion. The
animals eye, then being clearly visible, is
no sooner turned from the hunter than he
presents his rifle and fires. The seal if
shot through the head, is killed instantly;
but if hit in any ether place defeats his
enemy by disappearing through the ice.-

NINA AND AUGUST

saeisl KsI>A ns rt hu Nl>d
CHICAGO, February S.--If Miss Nina Van
ZaEdt, or, as she believes herself to be.
Mrs. August Spies, considers the celebrated
proxy marriage by Justice Englehardt, OF
Jefferson, valid, she has not social stand
ing. She did not visit the jail yesterday
in fact, sne has not done SO since Friday
of last week. The question OF the legality
of the pseudo marriage has agitated the
public mind to such an extent that some
body started rumor yesterday to the ef-
feet that Henry Spies, who acted as "agent'
for his imprisoned brother. had been ar.
rested for bigamy, he being a married man.
Up to late hour tonight no such step
had been taken by any of the proper an-
thorities, and from all that can be learned
nothing OF the kind is contemplated.
Miss Nina Van Zandt, alleged to be Mrs.
August Spies since last Saturday, has not
applied to me to be granted especial privi'
leges regarding visits to the jail, y said sher-
iff Matson yesterday. IF she asks to be
treated like the wiv Of other prisoners, SO
far as the number and time OF visits to the
jail are concerned, Ishall refuse the request.
| do not consider them married. II what
read about the ceremony OF last SATURDAY. y
is correct, the whole proceedings were a
farce. and not calculated to justify any ex-
ception ON my part concerning the girl.

| Belmont replied in the negative. The Chi
nese Government did not desire to embar
| ras the relations between the two nations
| by a continuance of immigration, and there
| was no disposition to modify the treaty 80
as to bring about results very much more
effective than could be secured by legisia-
ton. With this assistance the committee
did not intend to bring up the matter to-
day.
The respective merits of the Senate bill
which provides for the ascertainment OF
the losses incurred, and the House BILL
which makes II direct appropriation OF
STAT, 74S, were briefly discussed. Morrow,
oI California, favored the Senate bill, and
criticised Congress for not performing it's
duty to the country by the passage OF the
bill restricting Chinese immigration. The
House bill was substituted for the Senate
bill 101 to 6S and as SO amended the bill
was passed.
The House then passed the Senate bill
prohibiting the sale OF opium in the
United States by any subject Of the empe-
ror OF China.
The House passed the bill to inquire into
the effect of the international Convention
OF March 4tb. 1854, for the protection of
submarine cables.
McCreary, Of Kentucky. called up the bill
authorizing the President to arrange a
conference for the purpose OF promoting
arbitration and encouraging reciprocal
relations between the United States and
the republics Of Mexico, Central and South
America ard Empire OF Brazil. Pending
action he House took Il recess. The even
ing session is to be for the delivery OF eulo-
gies.
The House met in evening session for the
of resolutions expressive of
esteem III which the House held the memory
OF deceased Representatives from the State
OF New York-Messrs. Arnold, Beach and

IN THE COMMONS.
The Irish Question Discussed by John
Morley and John Bright.

The Irish Question Discussed by John
Morley and John Bright.
LONDON, February s-John Morley re-
sumed the debate on Parnells amendment
to the address in reply to the Queens
speech. Morley said he agreed with that
part OF the amendment which affirmed the
remedy for the existing crisis in Irish affairs
was to be found in such reform of law and
system OF government as would atisfy the
needs and secure the confidence of the Irish
people. There was in fact no remedy short
OF granting the Irish SELF government. The
amendment offered by Parnell pointed out
the only possible policy for the proper gov
erninent OF Ireland. Concerning the ques-
ton OF land purchase, Morley asked what
be- ter terms these were fer the tenant than
those proposed in the Ashbourne Act, which,
though good in itself, was utterly INSULT
cient for the just demand of Home Rulers
John Bright (LberaD said it was no dis
credit to England because she failed to
govern Ireland. The discredit was in refus-
ing to abandon the impossible task of at
tempting to govern by force. That policy
had failed in America and in Canada, and
would fail in Ireland-Ireland must be
treated the same as Canada. The rela tions
between landlord aid tenant in Ireland
was a far greater scandal than was the
Plan OF Campaign" He would have been
if the Irish leaders had not
adopted some such method.

GOVERNOR LESLIE.
interviewed by a Reporter on His Ar
rival at the Capital.

Helena Herald, 9Th: Our new Governor,
Hon. Preston II. Leslie, arrived in Helena
Yesterday on the delayed train from the
east. Noticing his signature on heCosmo-
politan Hotel register this morning a Her
aid reporter asked the clerk ii His Excellen-
cy had yet arisen and was accessible to
visitors. He was informed that the Gov
ernor had taken breakfast at six o'clock
this morning-proo conclusive that he was
up and about. The reporter had speedy
invitation to follow his card to the Cover
nor's room, and wa4 there accorded
courteous reception. DR.. Hunter, OF Boze-
man, an Old friend of Governor Leslie, was
in the room at TIA, time, talking over mat
ters with his former acquaintance, whom
he had not seen for thirty yeHrs.
Our new Governor is an elderly gentle
man and would be rated at go or 90 years
of age by casual observer. He Is tall
and spare with well shaped head covered
by a thick suit OF gray HAIR. His whiskers.
which he wears Abraham Lii In style, are
also gray. His conntenance expresses be
nightly as well as tirmness Of purpose, and
ia one calcula ed to impress all favorabiy
With the worth and ability OF it's possessor.
His manner is frank and cordial and
marked by the courtesy Of his c'ass. His
attire comports with his demeanor IN un-
affected simplicity. A disregard OF style Is
evidenced il his garments throughout, q
low vest ana exposed shirt front proclaim
ing the wearer more partial to comfort
than fashion. Neatness goes hand IN hand
with simplicity in his vesture, and there Is
a total lack OF toilet negligence as well as
ostentation. Altogether, his appearances
calculated to produce most favorable I'M
pressions.
The Governor chatted pleasantly OF his
Journey and current events. He said his
family remained in Kentucky, but would
soon follow him hither, since he had deter
mined I 0 make his future home in Montana.
Before the war Governor Leslie was engaged
in husbandry, but since that period has
been practicing law. His home is at Glas,
cow, Kentucky, where his second wife and
three children now reside. He has nine chill
dren living. Between 1872 and 1875 hewas
Governor OF Kentucky, serving ten months
by appointment OF the Senate and four
wears by popular election. Hehas also been
several terms in his States Legislature.

Successful and Popular Plays.

People were actually turned away from
the doors OF the Grand Opera House last
week with play On the stag OF that ex-
eessively popular theater that was notable
for the poverty OF it's dramatic inspiration
Under such circumstances, and ii such
work can succeed, there is no reason why
a piece of fair interest an reasonably clever
construction like 1.-THE Minute Men, which
will be the attraction there this week,
should not succeed in doing fair business.
Joe Murphy goes direct from the Filth
Avenue Theater, where he played Tort
night ago to large and pleased audiences, to
Mr. Josh Hart's pretty Harlem resort, the
Thea ter Comique. 1t is safe to say ne will
renew his success there.
One of the best OF the spectacular melo,
dramas, "Shadows OF a Great City, will
be the card at Mr.. Miners Peoples Thea
ter this week. Patrons OF this popular es-
tablishment have already been made cog
nizant OF whatever merits the play poss-
esges. for it has on former occasions, last
season, drawn crowds to the place. There
is no question but that it will easily sue
ceed in doing likewise the present week.

Held for Murder.

MORRIS, Ill.,, February 7.-At the exami-
nation to-day of Henry Schwartz, charged
with the murder OF Express Messenger
Nichols, on the Rock Island Railroad
wear ago, II dozen or more employees OF the
express company and railroad testified as
witnesses. William Pinkerton exhibited
and identified the black satchel found by
Conductor Danforth, the piece OF bank
check found with the satchel and the rest
OF the check found in the robbed car.
Special Agent Ray, OF the Rock Island road,
testified TO finding some sandy hair clutched
in Nichols hands, and bloody finger marks
on his watch. Conductor Danforth testi-
titled about the action of Schwartz when
returning to Chicago with him on the
day after the crime. "Schwartz," he said,
did not speak to me from Seneca to Chi
cago. He was around the tender and be-
tween the baggage cars without light,
which thought very queer actions for a
brakeman who was deadheading it," Sew.
eral other witnesses were examined, the
drift OF whose testimony tended to impli
cate Schwartz. The justice tonight de-
ciicd to huli Schwartz to appear before
the grand jury as an acct ssory merely, and
not to admit him to bail.
